Three Rich Young Women.

The three richest young women in
America are the Misses Drexel, of Phil
adelphia. Their fortunes are not less
than $4,000,000 each. They are all
young-the oldest tWenty-eight, the
youngest twenty-five. Their home in
Philadelphia is big. plain. four-storied
brown stone front, and when they are
in the country they spend most of their
time at their farmhouse, an old CO.
lonial brick mansion, sixteen miles out
in the country from Philadelphia.
Their home is singularly free from
fancy work and the usual brie-a-brac
truck vita which women ordinarily
love to surround themselves and chief
amusement of these healthy Young
American girls is horseback riding and
the grooming and curry eombing of their
thoroughbred steeds. These girls have
no nonsense about them and are as
charitable as any women in the world.
Hundreds live on their bounty. One
supports entirely home for orphans
and they are now building a protectory
for boys, where two hundred boys are
to be generally modelled, in its manage
ment, after the Girard College, but will

do wrong.~ There are no. riches good
for any thing unless there is con-
science, honor, industry, education and,
religion. It takes men to make ma
ton; animated money bags can't do 1t.
You must measure a mans heart not
his money chest, if you know his
worth. A nation can afford to have
poor citizens, but not corrupt ones.
Riches at the very best. with all the
guards OF patriotism, and refinement,
and religion, are powerful to enervate
the mind and the body. But riches
which begin in immorality-which are
rolled in on the very current of
wickedness, and are seized by men
who have bartered their conscience
and hoodwinked their religion for the
sake of being affiuent-if such riches
are not fire and canker, then God has
not spoken the truth.
1t needs no prophet to foretell what
will be the character of people made
rich across their consciences by the
profits of distilling. They can not be
temperance men, any more than a
wolf can be sheep by putting on his
skin; in becoming Christians they will
get far enough only to become hypo-
critics. Men who know very well be-
torehand what whisky will do to laws,
and yet, for money, open its flood
gates, will not be very stout defenders
OF the law against dissipation. A con-
science venal to distilleries has no Writ
lie to resist other prOffers. Men who,
unitedly, sustain distilleries against
public good. will separately cheat each
otherfor theirpriyate good. Thus Young
men will grow up without nerve to
work, and, with Just nerve enough to
drink; they viii be lazy in honesty and
Industrious in knavery. Men will have
too much to do in keeping up courts and
jails to have time to build churches;
and poor-houses will ultimately sup
plant school-houses. The moment a
man sells himself to Mammon he
apostalizes from God; "yOu can not
| serve God and Mammon. Let those
who mediate the sale first take a full
measurement of the slavery. What
place would that be which has no God
but Mammon, and no conscience but
money? Men who begin a downward
course by insidiOus degrees, ought to
know where the road ends which they
descend night and day. What if it
stops abruptly on the precipice of
perdition? Where would one natur-
ally expect that path to end which be-
gins at distillery? What will the
last step be, when the first step Is
planted upon the PROSTATE forms of
conscience, religion and public good?
What juggle, what Internal phantasy
has possessed the mind, when public
prosperity is sought for amid the ruins
of integrity, industry, patriotism and
religion?

OLD RuMMlE's GOING AWAY.


Say, neighbors have you seen old Ruminie.
With scowl upon his face?
I met him on the street this morning,
And he's going to leave the pace.
He sees the dark clouds Ger him gather,
And he fears the coming storm;
So he thinks he'd better pack up his baggage,
For it's getting mighty warm
CHoRUs-Old Rummie's going away,
And the country shall be free;
80, nelghbors. come and join in the chorus,
And Wen shout the jubilee
He swears blue strealks about this country,
And he's awful mad, fear;
But all the same he's going to travel
With his whisky. wine and beer
he knows we hate his cursed business:
For he hears the children's cry.
He says we fools don't know any better
Than TO go and vote it ''dry.''
tell you, friends, twill just be glorious
For to see old Rummie go!
Well feel as though we'd all emigrated
To little Heaven belowt
Our darling children shall be happv
And free from the drunllards snare.
When /" a school on every hill-tops planted.
And saloons are found no vherer'
When Rummie's gone we'll all shout glory"
And Wen have jolly time;
The rich and poor will both have plenty,
And Well bid goodbye to crime
Policemen will be scarcely needed,
And the tramp shall be no more;
Wen turn the jail to a cotton factory
And the poor-house to store.
